A Dining Room Mystery.
From the Rilfnlo Courier.


A gentleman who was invited out to dine at a
Delaware avenue residence lately observed that
the chandelier over the diningroo table was Of
peculiar construction, SO that there was a light
over the head Of each guest The globes were of
various colors, some amber, some red and some
blue. What is the object of having the globes
of different colors: the guest asked of his host

whom one perfectly hates. Now, last Tuesday

had my revenge on my fair enemies, however.
l placed each of these two women under one of
those pale blue lights at the table. They're
usually considered beautiful women, but under
that light they had the most CHASTITY look you
ever saw They were perfect scarecrows. They
seemed to have aged twenty years the minute
that they sat down. The men noticed it, of
course, but they did not divine what caused it.
They were quite taken abacl, and awfully glum
at first. But finally one of them turned with a
sigh and began talking to a real homey little
thing that was sitting under a ruby colore d
light: Why, she was perfectly charming under
it. So you see that when l want people TO look
perfectly hideous, / put them under the blue
lights. 1t kills everything" The gentleman
looked up. He was under blue light.

NEGRO MASONRY.

Meeting of a Body at Chicago not Rec
ogni8ed by White Masons.
CHICAGO, August 23.-The Colored Ma.
tional Masonic convention assembled in
this city to-day. This is the first national
convention of the fraternity, and the
colored Masons all over the United States
have manifested great interest in its de-
liberations. The delegates are repre-
sentatives of grand lodges of
various states, and most of
them are grand masters of
their respective lodges. There is no
supreme body in the fraternity higher
than the grand lodges of different states,
as there is IN the more ancient Masonry
of the white race. Consequently the body
which began its work to day has no legis-
lative powers. During the four days the
convention will be in session questions of
national interest to the fraternity will be
discussed. Whatever conclusions may be
reached they will only go to the grand
lodges and subordinate bodies in the form
of suggestions and recommendations.
Among the questions which will come
up for discussion in the convention, are
the formation of a national body not for
legislation, but as an advisory body with
limited authority, comfy among grand
lodges and the analogy of craft Masonry
to the Christian religion.
Nothing was done at to-day's session
beyond organizing, and tomorrow, the
real work of the convention will begin
The fraternity numbers nearly one hun
dred thousand members, but the order
has never been recognized by the white
Masons of the United States.

Another Good Man Gone .

CHARLESTON, S. G., August 23.-The
greatest excitement was created in Sum.
ter yesterday morning, when the sign
"closed," was found posted on the door OF
the Sumter National bank. On investiga
tion it was found Cashier Chas. E. Bart
lett had ebsconded with all the funds OF
the bank, amounting to $55,000, and that
his books were short t o the amount of
$4,000. Bartlett is believed to have gone
to Mexico. The feature of the defalcation
which is creating the most talk is the fact
that the bank officers knew of the condi-
ton of his books weeks ago. Bartlett's
downfall was caused by heavy speculation
in cotton futures. Directors will make
the loss good, and the bank will resume.

Remarkable Surgery.

The science of surgery has made suct
wonderful progress In modern times that
the most intricate and delicate operations
are now undertaken and carried to a sue
cessful issue. There are now several well
authenticated cases of what is known as
pneumotony, that is to say, the removal
of diseased portions of the lungs in cases
of consumption. While, however, this
delicate operation has sometimes been
successfully performed, the risks attend
ing it are so great, and the chances of re
covery SO slight, that it is seldom resorted
to. The safest plan in consumptive cases
is to use DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. This will always cure the disease
in its earlier stages, thoroughly arresting
the ravages of the terrible malady, by re-
moving its cause and healing the lungs.

Disaster to Rice Planters.

COLUMBIA, S. c., August 23.-It is prob
able that the loss on the rice crop will ex-
ceed 100000, the estimate made two
weeks ago. Discouragipg news continues
to come in from flooded districts in lower
Carolina, along the Santee and Savannah
rivers. There is a very serious question
now before the rice planters. 1t is what
disposition is to be made of the negroes
on their plantations until the first of next
year. There is no way for them to earn a
living. In the meantime they will have
to be supplied with food. Many planters
are unable to do this, as they have been
ruined by the freshet, and it will be neces-
sary for the people of the state to con
tribute to their support. If nothing is
done for these negroes during the next
four months they will starve. The loss of
the rice field laborer means the abandon
ment ~ river plantations, and the destruc.
ton of property worth hundreds OF
thousands of dollars.

Chicago.
LONDON, August 23.-Mr. Collier, of
Chicago, was granted an audience by the
queen this afternoon at Osborne house,
when he presented to her majesty the ad-
dress of the Chicagoans of British birth
and parentage in honor of her jubilee.
The queen replied: 81 thank you for
the address you have presented to me,
coming as it does from persons of English
birth beyond the seas, who retain feel
ing of love for their mother country and
sympathy with her welfare. 1 re-
ceive it with peculiar satisfaction.
That the people of Chicago should have
given expression TO these kind senti-
ments, not only toward the Anglo Saxon
race in these realms, but also toward my
SELF is source of much qualification, and
sustains me in the belief that the friend
ship and good will which now exists be-
tween the two countries, and which have
always endeavored to promote, are of a
real and enduring character"
The crown princess was present. The
whole proceeding is extraordinary, in view
of the queens absolute refusal to person
ally receive English addresses unpublished

action of the Henry Georgeites. Speeches
were made and resolutions adopted de-

his followers. Every mention of his
name was signal for ieers, Kisses, groans,

carried into the hall and waived from
the platform amid applause and Kisses.
Speeches were made by Editor Schevitz

order.

CHICAGO, August 23.-The will of the
late Levi Rosenfeld was probated to-day.
The will is dated December 3, 1888, and
gives Maurice and Harry, the two sons,
handsome amounts in personal property
and fair share of the real estate, but a
codicil dated June 26, 1887, directs that
all bequests to Maurice be revoked, and
that all such be read as being made to his
wife, and be free from all control of his
creditors. She is directed to pay over to
him from time to time such sums as are
necessary to maintain him in the station
to which he had been accustomed, all to
be free from control by creditors. A
large portion of the immense estate is left
to the widow.

DIsCoNTENT AT PULLMAN.
A Cut-Down in Wages Causes a Striking
Sentiment.

A Cut-Down in Wages Causes Striking
Sentiment.
CHICAGO, August 23.-Discoutent reigns
among men at Pa!lman, caused by the
announcement Saturday that the wages of
all trimmers were to be cut down 10 per
cent. There are nearly one hundred men
in the department., and for time the
striking sentiment ran high. A meeting
of the Knights of Labor of the Pullman
council was held Saturday evening, at
which the situation was discussed. No
decisive action was taken regarding the
strike, which majority of the Knights
seemed to feel would be bad thing to
order at this time of year. Moreover, as
two years ago similar cut was followed
by general one in all departments, it
was thought this fall would see another
order TO the same effect, and therefore
thought best to await results.
The cause for the cut given by the COM
pany is slack in orders, but the men
claim that as the work is done by piece,
some of the men turn out an unusual
amount of work, and in consequence re-
Ssive au unusual salary. The company, il
is claimed, looks only at the amount
earned without regard to hard work, and
consequently ordered cut in wages.
Another subject discussed at the meet
ing of Saturday, was the intended stop
page of Work for the season at the brick.
yards. The men were out on strike
from May until July, and are in pitablt
financial condition. About 300 men
most of whom are married, will be thrown
out by the shut down which is to occur
Wednesday. The shut down takes places
regularly about this time of year, and nc
more work will be done until next spring
except fhe running for a short slime longer
of two chamber machines which employ
| about forty men.

ENGLISH POLITICS.

LONDON, August 23.-In the house of
commons, this evening, Mr.. L. Robertson,
liberal member, for Dundee, referring to
the proclamation of the Irish National
league, said he had examined the returns
upon which the proclamation was issued
and he failed to find any mention of the
league. He asked if the government
would submit the evidence upon which the
house would be enabled to discharge its
duty under the statute, and decide whether
the proclamation declaring the league
dangerous on specific grounds of crimi-
nality should be confirmed.
Mr.. Smith, government leader, said it
was not the governments intention to
submit any additional papers. (Parnellite
cries of "oh!" "oh!" and ministerial
cheers.) ~
